Seattle, WAPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

For a new grad position, I had three rounds total: a DSA round, an OOP round, and then a behavioral round.

In the DSA round, I got one dynamic programming problem—climbing stairs—and one hash table problem. The OOP round involved a custom exception handling problem.

They also asked about microservices design patterns and Apache Kafka, so the OOP and platform knowledge were connected rather than separate. For behavioral, they asked structured questions like what the most challenging work I’d done was and a time I delivered under a tight deadline. I didn’t get an offer, but the experience still felt fairly organized, and I appreciated that the rounds covered both core coding topics and domain ideas.
